Revolutionary Floating Solar Panels Could Transform America’s Energy Landscape
Floating solar panels on U.S. water bodies could generate significant clean energy while conserving land and reducing water evaporation.

Floating solar panels, or “floatovoltaics,” present a promising solution for America’s renewable energy future. By utilizing water bodies such as reservoirs, these systems can generate clean electricity without occupying valuable land, making them particularly advantageous in urban areas or regions with limited space. Additionally, floating panels reduce water evaporation and improve energy efficiency due to their cooling effect. This innovative approach offers a dual benefit of addressing the growing demand for renewable energy and enhancing water conservation efforts across the country. Read more.
